Russia announces tests of hypersonic Zircon anti-ship missile in warning to US

It is probably no coincidence that as international tensions have ratcheted up following on the US missile strike on Syria and the US military deployments around North Korea, that Russia has announced that its new hypersonic Zircon anti-ship missile has achieved speeds of Mach 8 in tests.
This claim appears in an article carried by the official Russian news agency TASS.
